Think Zinc
Administration of high-dose zinc sulfate raised zinc serum concentrations
significantly, resulting in objective improvement in 75 percent
of patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic disease. Interestingly,
prior to treatment, serum concentrations differed markedly in
normal vs. diseased aorta, an observation that underscores zinc's
potential value in this regard.
